Facts of the Case:
1. Clark Shuman, owner and general manager, plans to retire and relinquished his control over the company
2. Business has been doing good with an emphasis of selling new cars as the principal business of the dealership
3. He created three independent departments, namely new car sales, used car sales, and service department.
4. Salary is dependent on each department's gross profit
5. Upon the take over of the managerial positions, Janet Moyer of the new car sales had a first challenge of making a sale through a costumer who wanted to trade his old car with a new car.
6. Moyer had to decide the amount she would offer the costumer for the trade in value of the old car.
7. The new car model has been in stock for some time and the model wasn't selling.
8. The list price of the new car is $14400. List Price of New Car: $14400 Cost of the New Car: 12240

    12. Wade paid $7,000 for an automobile that needed substantial repairs. He worked nights and weekends to restore the car and spent $2,400 on parts for it.

    Swisher Mower Case Summary

    • 3362 Words
    • 14 Pages

    This determination was calculated based on fixed costs of five percent of 1995 sales. The five percent was derived by subtracting the net profit margin (10%) from the mark-up on the sales price versus variable costs (15%). (See Appendix A) If the proposal from the private brand was accepted, to breakeven in year one, Swisher must sell 8,385 mowers. In year two, 7,623 mowers must be sold. To determine breakeven for the proposal, five percent was subtracted from the Manufactures Retail Price. The private brand proposal stipulated that this must be the price per acquired Road King. Also, variable costs increased by the following: Four percent ($26.00 per unit for overtime costs), one percent ($6.50 per unit for overhead costs), one percent ($6.50 per unit for direct materials costs), and one and a half percent ($9.75 per unit for increases in property taxes). An increase in inventory levels resulted in an increase of fixed costs. On average, an additional 2,100 units of Road King mowers will be in inventory if the proposal is accepted. The inventory increase is financed by short-term debt with an interest cost of prime plus 2.5% (currently 7%). Year one also included a one-time cost of $12,000. This cost would be required if Swisher accepts the proposal. (See Appendix A) A few important non-measurable costs were not included in the cost basis for determining breakeven. This should be dully noted and investigated further before a final decision can be reached. These non-measurable costs include an increase in potential lawsuit liability (the contract stipulates Swisher will be fully liable in the event a negligence lawsuit is filed), an increase in warranty work/repair (the contract stipulates Swisher will be fully responsible for any warranty work/repair and will reimburse the private brand for any labor costs associated with warranty work at $22.00 per hour), and a small…

    Since the beginning of the last century, automobile companies have fought for control of a quickly expanding market in the newly created automobile industry. Hundreds of companies attempted to secure their place in market but ultimately, only three companies remain today (Wright, 2012). The decisions, mergers, and products those three companies made is ultimately what kept them going. Starting a business and ensuring its success are two different things entirely. A successful business will recognize the need to adapt to the various pressures exerted on it from other forces.…

    The word responsible is incredibly hard to define. It has a different meaning for each and every person that gets asked the question. Different cultures think of it differently, different communities think of it differently, even two sisters would answer think of it differently. According to Ronald Wright, in his book A Short History of Progress , the world responsible means sharing. Responsible citizens would take their wealth, both physical and metaphorical, and share it with the world. The smartest people in the world would share their knowledge with people who may not be so smart, or have the means to be as smart, and the wealthiest people in the world would take all of that hard-earned cash, and share it with poverties across the world. This idea is slightly flawed, and relies on human generosity, something that is not exactly easy to come by. In the opinion of this author we need to rely on human ingenuity. We need to rely on the ability for humans to innovate and evolve, before…
